Bishop gone ? Yippeeeee !

82 Government MP's were asked if they had ever received free travel from 'Halloworld" 14 said they had never been given free travel by 'Halloworld. What about the other 68?

Wink, wink, nudge, nudge "Hockey owes me!", so said the head honch from 'Halloworld' Andrew Burnes. according to a former exec from 'Halloworld'

"A former Helloworld executive (Russell Carstensen) who met with Australia's ambassador to the United States Joe Hockey to discuss embassy travel arrangements says the meeting was set up by the company's chief executive and Liberal Party treasurer Andrew Burnes. In a letter he said his then-boss Mr Burnes set up the meeting with Mr Hockey, saying: "Hockey owes me"."

The question is what does Hockey owe to Burns. When Burns says "jump" Hockey says "how high" BTW Hockey owns $1,000,000 worth of 'Hallowrld' shares. Very interesting.

Paul 1405 this mornings stack of jobs for the boys enforces your view we need ICAC
We need it now
Just a thought are we in Coventry? can it be the intense need to have only one sides views heard or seen here is impacting on the site
Never the less as our opponents rush to put heads in the sand this country moves nearer to its new government
And the Liberal party move closer to its forced internal review of what type of party its voters want it to be.

Hi Belly,

The 'Usual Suspects' are avoiding this thread like the plague, too many uncomfortable truths.

The image of that pair of scum bucks, Hockey and Cormann sitting outside Parliament house chopping on big fat cigars (were those cigars, compliments of the taxpayer), after delivering a kick in the guts to ordinary Australians, with their unfair crap budget That image should stick in the minds of every decent Aussie. The arrogance and self entitlement of this trumped up bunch of wantabees knows no bounds.

The Federal Government reminds me of Fred Flintstone's Leopard Lodge with Scum Ò' Morrison as the Grand Poobah.

Yes, a long list of jobs for the boys, the sheilas don't get a look in with the Liberal Party. I recall when Bishop was the only woman in the Abbott Cabinet, what was the Mad Monk thinking? I know, "We need one sheila in Cabinet, otherwise who's going to make the tea and coffee for the lads, while we discuss secret men's business."

Yes indeed Paul 1405
But is it a site for only one sides opinions, and while it clearly is not, that side wants it to be
After the smash, well after the NSW election warns trouble is ahead, they will blame leftist/reformists/progressives
Never understanding it is their own side, true Liberalism driving the bus that ran over them

Dear Paul and Belly,

Of course we should have a Federal ICAC.

It is long overdue.

However, it should be more than just meetings
and reports. It should have the power to take action
as necessary. We've had Royal Commission's into
Banks, child abuse, now one into aged care,
and so on. That's all well and good. However, will
anything change as a result? One can only live and
hope.
